Hey guys!
Just wondering what Moto G versions will be available, specifically what antennas will each version have?
I'm on Wind Mobile in Canada (AWS Band).
So far I found a few diff. versions of this phone, for US, UK and Canadian markets.
US radio specs:
http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/moto-g/Moto-G/moto-g-pdp-ways-to-buy.html
Networks
Global GSM Model: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
US GSM Model: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)
CDMA Model: CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900 MHz)
UK Band specs:
http://www.motorola.co.uk/consumers/mobile-phones/moto-g-gb.html
Networks
HSPA+ DL 21.1Mbps / UL 5.76Mbps- EV-DO Rev.A DL 3.1Mbps / UL 1.8Mbps
Bands/Modes
CDMA: 850/1900 UMTS: 850/900/1700/1900/2100 GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
Canada, Telus Only (for now)
HSPA 850/900/1900/2100; GSM 850/900/1800/1900
It looks like Telus is selling Global GSM Model

Confirmed. Telus/Koodo is indeed selling what looks like the International GSM version.

It looks like US GSM Model (sold on Motorola US site) WILL work with Wind Mobile in Canada!
While AWS transmits on ~1710-1755 MHz and receives on ~2110-2155 MHz, this band is known as 1700 or Band IV or AWS.
2100 refers to Band I (2100 IMT), a totally different band which is used in Asia and Europe, but not in North America.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
The US version supports AWS because that is what T-Mobile uses in the US, and it's the same band that Wind uses.

Any other models that you guys can add here?
Thanks!
Wow, the UK version actually supports more band, it should be the global version. There are many countries provide Uim card (CDMA sim card) on their CDMA2000 network.
The Brazilian Dual Chip Version has the same Bands of the UK version.
Moto G UK version

I was actually wondering the same thing myself. I wanted to buy one here in the UK because it says it supports all the bands (including 1700), but is this in fact true, or is it just the Global version?

Hi
Are you sure Allewar?
Motorola Brasil and the store they point you to (http://www.lojaoficialmotorola.com.br/product/celulares/116699802/moto-getrade%3B-dual)
doesn't list AWS 1700 band. Unlike the UK version.
See my OP.
Thanks
Moto G
From what I read in Canada we cannot get the 16gb version, have to find online somewhere.
Chilean version (Movistar) and probably all Latinoamerican except Brazil:
3G HSPA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Data 3G HSDPA 21 Mbps - HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
Data 2G GPRS - EDGE
Hello everyone, first post here!
I ordered a moto G from the us store since I have a connection in Washington state to ship it to. On their site they list 1700(aws) but not the 2100 needed for downloading.
I phoned motorola this morning and informed them of my uncertainty. The level 2 technician replied that the american phone will fully support 1700/2100 used by aws. I also informed the technician of my carrier, so it looks like the american gsm model will work with wind.
cheers :good:
To OP:
Confirmed. Telus/Koodo is indeed selling what looks like the international GSM version.
Model: XT1032
Baseband: MSM8626BP_1032.3051.51.00R
I would love to know how to enable 1700/2100 bands on it!!!
Do we know if there are hardware differences? I would like to see if we can get a thread going for enabling AWS support on international GSM version. There is an extensive knowledge-base here on XDA when it comes to tinkering with the Galaxy S2 and S3 modems and NV parameters to enable Wind/TMO AWS. I remember at one point there was discussion of whether AWS was even possible on the S3 i747.
Any input would be appreciated!!

Sorry I can't help make this happen but I thought I'd offer my support and would also love to see 1700/2100 bands enabled.

Hi matlabwtf! Welcome to XDA
Thanks for sharing your findings.
From what I've researched so far, 1700 MHz AWS band operates on 1700 up and 2100 down.
There's another AWS band as well, 2100MHz AWS band, it operates on 1900 up and 2100 down. It is used overseas, Asia, Europe, etc.
The carriers (cellphone companies and their employees) confuse people when they tell you need 1700/2100 band phone.
In reality you only need to make sure that the phone has 1700 AWS band, that's all.
Please let us know when your receive your handset, thanks.

same here. I hope we can enable 1700 AWS band on Telus/koodo version!

Glad to help! Is there any way to know the model number and baseband for the US GSM (AWS) version?? If it's the same model then I bet it is just a matter of flashing the relevant modem and nvdata parameters.

Hey
I'd have to dig some more to find out if all the models have same radios internally. Supposedly there were 5 models of Moto G approved by the FCC in the US:
XT1032, XT1033, XT1034, XT1035, and XT1036

UK Version
Just wanted to add that the UK version, despite listing the 1700 UMTS on the UK Motorola site, does not list said band on the box. I checked in store today, and it only had UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100. Appears to be the same as the Global version being sold in the US.
Hi Irfan
If they have a working demo, would you be able to check the settings and look at the model number and baseband? Only if you get an opportunity that is...

I have been looking in many different places and could not get a decisive result towards which E8 model has which frequecy bands, especially concerning the 3G bands.
I hope one could give us a conclusive answer to this.
I myself have an M8sw chinese dual sim E8, and I still cant tell this answer wether I have
850, 1900, 2100 or
900, 1900, 2100 or
850, 900, 2100 or
850, 900, 1900, 2100
And I could not find one conclusive answer to this.
Please if someone can link each model to its bands, I would be extremely greatful.

Ian, I guess tou are the one, when it comes to E8. Thanks.
Just one more question. How did you figure it out?
You speek Chinese? The site has no English version. I thought I could use it for reference, but unfortunately I coudlnt due to language barrier.
Use Google translate, man...
Hello, I am looking for some help regarding 4G support on the Mi4. The FDD LTE version of Mi4 is listed as supporting the following:
4G: FDD-LTE : BAND1/BAND3(2100/1800MHz)
TDD-LTE : BAND41 2496-2690MHz
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100MHz
I have seen posts about the WCDMA version, but does anyone know what chip the LTE Mi4 has?
Does the fact that it supports some FDD LTE bands mean software can be used to unlocked it for other FDD LTE bands, such as 800 and 2600?
Does the fact that it covers the 2600 band under TDD LTE mean software can be used to unlock FDD LTE on that band?
Hi all, I just realized I made a mistake when buying a smartphone abroad. I got a MotoE 2nd gen XT 1524.
This are the bands that work in my country:
2G: 850 / 1900
3G: 850 / 1900
4G: Banda 4 (AWS, 1700, 1700/2100*) / Banda 28 (APT700, 700 MHz**)
And these are the bands my phone has:
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 20(800) – XT1524
HSDPA 900 / 2100 – XT1524
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 – all versions
I know, I'm in trouble. But my question is... can I try something before starting to cry? :crying:
(BTW, I'm suuuuuuuuuuuper begginer, it's my first real smartphone, I had a feature phone before this one)
Thanks!
Hello!
I had a simillar problem with the XT1524. I also live in Argentina.
The XT model is international, so at a hardware level you have all the bands, but it is limited by the software.
The solution is (tranks to JasonPro11):
1. Download "4G LTE Switch" from PlayStore.
2. Run the app (does not require special permissions).
3. Go to "Set preferred network type” and choose LTE/GSM.
4. In the upper corner go to "Set Radio Band" and choose "USA Band".
5. Restart and enjoy LTE and 3G in Argentina...
I´ve also published this post in Grupo Android (spanish version).
Regards,
Fernando
hey guys,
i can't really find any information if the Mi4C will work out of the box in europe. i'm in austria on a drei (three) network.
i've read stuff about LTE/4G not being supported in europe but thats dismissable for me. but will normal phonecalls and connectivity up to hsdpa+ work in europe?
thanks in advance
According to gsmarena

So check your bands with this
Three (3) only works with bands 2600 and 1900 so they'll both work in the Mi4C. The only band that won't work is the 20 (800 mHz)
I posted some guides on how to unlock LTE bands in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/unlocking-lte-bands-t3215763
Hopefully those instructions work for someone to unlock B20. Let me know if it works!
